I know Richard has a lot of fans here, and to be honest, I was one of them when I first watched BB7 as a naïve child. I thought he was 'sassy' and 'funny' (and I will admit that he was quite funny at times). However, rewatching BB7, without fail I've always come out of it hating Richard.
Anyway Richard entered the BB7 on launch night, as a “SEXUAL TERRORIST” and he said he would like “have sex with every man in there” [or something along those lines] when in reality he was nothing like that at all. This turned out to be totally fake and his real house persona was more of an annoying uncle I guess. In week 1, he was the ringleader in the bullying of Shahbaz, and in my opinion, he came out the worst (or at least as bad as Sezer). Like, I know Shahbaz is a naturally annoying person but he definitely did not deserve the treatment he got by, well basically the whole BB7 house.
After Shahbaz left, he became obsessed with what he dubbed as 'the PLASTICS' and in particular he had a big hate boner for Imogen, who I understand was slightly bitchy in the first few weeks (Grace's influence imo) and essentially started an argument with her and Sezer because he thought Imogen was boring and didn't deserve to be in the house, and it was really hypocritical, who is he to decide who deserves to be in the house or not?
Richard got nominated like all the time but was constantly saved by the public :rolleyes: (RIP Lea and Imogen). He continued to be really condescending, especially to Lea in her eviction week, thinking her eviction was a done deal and he would be safe (it was actually a fairly close eviction lol). Then during the HND week, him and Imogen went into the HND and he basically started bitching about Queen Aisleyne and encouraging Grace to get her revenge, which erased any goodwill he earned by defending Susie in watergate and Imogen was the one defending Aisleyne and I found it so ironic. Aisleyne had been nothing but nice to Richard and yet at the first opportunity he turned on her and it really didn't sit well with me (spoiler not really: I'm a huge Aisleyne fan)
And that's not even touching on his uncomfortable relationship with fellow gay Michael, like when Michael asked not be called a 'she' yet Richard did it anyway. It was so glorious he only came in 4th and got beaten by Aisleyne and he was so bemused lmao.
In conclusion: Aisleyne rules, Richard drools
Save
Roberto, kitchen god <3
